Changes in selected soil quality indicators in forested soils following sawlog harvest
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Soil phosphorus pools and harvest effects on soil solution chemistry in the Missouri Ozark Highlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Forests ecosystems are governed by complex and dynamic nutrient cycles where soil is a major provider of nutrients essential for plant growth. Disturbances occurring in forested ecosystems (timber harvest, fire, and disease ...
Environmental implications of phosphate-based amendments in heavy metal contaminated alluvial soil
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Radar characteristics of tornadic and non-tornadic quasi-linear convective systems over the central United States
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
An analysis of the spring-to-summer transition in the west central Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
The spring-to-summer transition is of special importance in forecasting, as the general circulation undergoes an energy shift to a warmer regime, which affects the Midwestern United States. Beginning at the most localized ...
Soil hydraulic and physical properties as affected by logging management
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Former studies have shown that once compacted, forest soils often recover slowly (many decades) to pre-disturbed levels for soil properties such as bulk density or penetrometer resistance. Runoff and soil erosion from ...
Soil solution chemistry and nutrient flux in Ozark Highland forest soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Soil solution chemistry and nutrient flux may differ among soils due to differences in parent material, biota, landscape position, climate, and degree of weathering. Within soils, soil solution chemistry changes seasonally ...
Soil and crop management influences on soil physical quality of Sanborn Field
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
Soil water is often the most limited factor for plant growth and yield, causing plant available water to be the best indicator of soil quality. This study explores how soil and crop management influences soil physical ...
Tests of quantitative precipitation estimates using national weather service dual-polarization radar in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
Flash flooding is the most common and widespread threat associated with severe weather. Therefore, it is essential for forecasters to be able to properly assess the risk of flash flooding in order to issue watches and ...
An investigation of thundersnow environment differences between the Phoenix metropolitan area and Columbia, MO from an analytical and modeling perspective
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
Thundersnow (TSSN) is linked to increased snowfall intensity and accumulation totals within cyclones. Although rare, TSSN has been observed and studied across various regions of the U.S., although most attention has been ...
Cover crop practices in Missouri claypan soils and their influences on selected soil health indicators
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
Growing world human populations and diversified global markets have increased demand for agricultural food products, as well as non-food agricultural industry products. To meet these expected future demands, increasing and ...
The long-term impacts of forest removal on floodplain subsurface hydrology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
A study was implemented in fall 2010, in the Hinkson Creek Watershed, Missouri, USA to improve quantitative understanding of the long-term impact of forest removal on floodplain hydrology. Automated volumetric water content ...
Severe winter storms in Missouri from 1960-2010
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
Severe winter storms have cost the state of Missouri significant economic loss from property damage, crop destruction, and loss of livestock. Even worse than the economic loss from these storms are the injuries and deaths ...
Long-term soil and crop management effects on soil physical properties related to soil erodibility
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Long-term soil and cropping systems affect soil physical properties thereby effecting soil erosion and erodibility. Understanding the effects of crop ...
Soil hydraulic properties as influenced by prairie restoration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
Prairies are complex living systems which play a vital role both biologically and ecologically in the environment and support a large amount of wildlife. Prairie restoration is an ecologically friendly way to restore prairie ...
Further investigation of synoptic and mesoscale features in previous central United States winter storms compared to southeast, middle Atlantic and northeast events
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This further study considers parameters relevant to most intense precipitation during another nine selected central United States events and compares ...
An analysis of interannual and interdecadal variability to increase flood response preparedness of the Missouri National Guard
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] River flooding and flash flooding are common occurrences in Missouri and are of special importance in forecasting. As part of the Missouri National ...
Influence of agroforestry buffers on soil hydraulic properties relative to row crop management
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Agroforestry (AgB) and grass (GB) buffers have been developed as a part of the management system for row crop areas in temperate regions to improve ...
Grain yield and greenhouse gas emissions from organic and conventional cropping systems on claypan soil landscapes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] With increasing world populations, farmers must become more efficient at producing food, fiber and fuel while reducing negative environmental impacts. ...
